Ravens each value. The locations of all "Eyes Odin"

According to the "Senior Edde" (Song "Speech of Grimnira"), Odin, in addition to two wolves (Geri and Freques), there are two crow, whose name is Khogin and Munic. Their names translated from the Herlandist means "Thinking" (Huginn) and "remembering" (Muninn). There is also an alternative translation of the names of Hugin and Munin, according to this version of the crows the same is called "thought" and "memory".

Khugin and Municipality are mentioned not only in the senior and younger EDDA, \u200b\u200bbut also in many other medieval monuments of scalidical poetry. Also, the authors of the "circle of the earth" (Sorni Sturlson) and the "third grammatical treatise" are also talking about the corona of Odina Hugin and Munin.

From the point of view of the "functionality" of Crows Hugin and Municipality are quite curious mythological images. In the song "Speech Grimnira", one suggests that Hugin and Munic is located on his shoulders. Every morning, the All Allian sends birds to Western on nine worlds (not only on Midgard), and every evening they return to tell Great Ace about what is happening in the universe. These are not messengers of the gods, as the early researchers of the Scandinavian myths believed. Ravens Hugin and Municipality are not shown to nor people nor Etunam, they only observe, listen and remember, this, figuratively expressing, personal "spies" of the same, which collect the necessary information for it.

The motive of communication of people (or gods) with birds is traditional for European occult. At the same time, there are no references to how one hends Hugin and Munin, probably the crows speak the language of the ASS (in the "Arm Circle", Sturlson mentions that one he himself taught his birds). It is quite logical if you take into account an ancient, but an erroneous myth that crows live for a very long time and for their lives can a lot to learn. In fact, the view of Corvus Corax lives from 10 to 30 years in the wild, and in captivity - no more than 75-80. Nevertheless, it is experimentally confirmed that the crows are really able to study human speech, although at the level of a five-year-old child (on this score, the data of various studies diverge). And if you consider that crows Khugin and Municipality have "divine" origin, and serve the same, potentially immortal essence, it is quite likely that their life life (and, therefore, the experience) is also unlimited.

Ravens Odin - Esoterism of the Image

Ravens Odin Hugin and Municipality by many Scandinavians are considered as a deep, complex image of the Northern Shamanic tradition. In particular, the famous folklorist John Lindou says that the journey of Juan and Munina is the essence of a metaphorical image of a shamanian journey, when a person enters a special transcendental state that can be classified as an ecstatic trance. At the same time, in the already mentioned song "Speech of Grimnira" one mentions that he is afraid of Hugin and Munin's raven, when he sends them to wander. Here Lindow sees a veiled warning: without proper training, the shaman may not return from the trance, forever "having lost among the worlds", remaining in the changed state of perception, roughly speaking - he simply comes crazy.

The German philologist and historian Rudolf Winter says that the image of a hugin and munin crows is a symbolic embodiment of a mental (mental) force of Odin. This is a direct indication that Vladyka Asgard knows everything about everything, for it is so great and incomprehensible in his greatst. In this regard, the interpretation of the image of Hlidskyalva is not clear, the throne of one, which also allows you to see all the corners of nine worlds.

God of Voronov, God hung ...

Khogin and Munic Republic - popular images in medieval poetry, the Scandinavian kennings "servant of Odin", "Traveler for the Worlds", "invisibly present", and all this metaphorical definitions of the crow. In this regard, the very same is often called the God of Crow. Perhaps that is why in the late-medievable Scandinavian folklore, one became the God of Hangbalnikov, because crows are the pudals, and they are always present where you can find the rotting flesh.

With this feature of the crows, the image of Hugin and Munin acquires the original flavor and special significance for the scandins. In the third grammatical treatise, Tordson writes: "The crows were dragged from Hnikar's shoulders, to hanged - Hugin, to the dead men - Munic.". This moment is very important, because in many medieval texts it is said that the sacrifice of the Lord of Asgard was often brought people. Despite the fact that with a high probability, it is only a spectacular speech turnover, the image is quite bright and memorable, he again refers us to the Hands (after all, one Himself hanging down his head on his head, as hanged to "open" runes) and corners.

And here it is worth dispelled all sorts of myths regarding "sacrifices of the same". In Sturlson's "ingling saga", it is mentioned that the prince of Uppsala Aun "brought his eldest son to sacrifice the same." However, this phrase should not be perceived literally. Modern folklinists believe that this episode states that Aunu had to make his first primer the priest. In fact, it is a victim, because traditionally the eldest son must inherit the throne, but, being a priest, he cannot do this.

It is curious to note that the crows of Khugin and Municipality were so loved by the scandinavas that during the Cold War the Swedes called their names of intelligence probes. In 1952, the intelligence aircraft Khugin was shot down by the MiG-15 pilot, this is an important historical episode that theoretically could lead to the beginning of full-fledged hostilities.

The names of the same, associated with the image of the Voronov Khugin and Munina:

Master of Voronov - Hrafnstýrandi;

Vladyka Voronov - Hrafnadróttinn;

Crow Voronov - Hrafnáss;

Worshiping crows - hrafnblætr.

Raven (Corvus Corax) is widespread in the northern hemisphere. He is a hero of many myths and legends, occupying a special place in the mythology of the peoples of North America, Scandinavia and Siberia. According to Claude Levi-Ostrus, the French ethnographer and the creator of structural anthropology, Raven and have acquired their such popular status of mythological characters, since ancient times were considered intermediaries between life and death.

The first written mention of the Voronene was created about 5 thousand years ago. In the Sumerian clinox "Epos about Gilgamesh" talks about Wtnapishtime, the only person who survived after the World Flood. He alternately released pigeons from his ship, and. The first two feathers returned back, and only the last bird found the Earth.

Raven in Scandinavian mythology

Vikings often used the image of the crow, whose wings they symbolized sails. Ragnar Labrok, the Danish conken and a leaning from the kind of ingling, his victories and defeats, who lived in the 9th century, was obliged to be a wonderful banner under the name of Reagan, which was depicted by Raven Odin. When the banner was waved in the wind, the valiant warrior invariably defeated, and when it remained without movement, the battle was lost.

King of Norway Harald III Stern (1015-1066) had a similar combat landslide Landatehan. The same talisman was at the King Denmark of the Great Knude (995-1035). Both were considered terrible warriors, and both considered a wise bird with their patron.

At the Supreme Herman Scandinavian God, two Voron Khogin and Municipal were sation on his shoulders. Their names in Herkland mean "thinking" and "remembering." They knew how to speak, were Messengers of Odin and his main informants. Based on their reports, he often took fateful decisions. God daily released birds in the morning in a world journey. During the day they flew out all the land and in the evening they returned back with a detailed report.

Raven is depicted on the right side of the heraldic coat of arms of the Isle of Maine, the former Viking Colony. He became an unchanged part of the Folklore Islanders, associated with death and lost souls. In Sweden, crows personify the ghosts of those killed, and in Germany the soul of the damned people.

Celtic mythology

The Irish associates black birds with military actions and battlefield under the leadership of the goddesses of War Badb and Morrigan. The Goddess Morrigan in the form of a crow sits on the Kukhulin's shoulder, the legendary Irish hero with family pupils and seven fingers on the legs. In life, he rejected her love, eventually lost her support and was killed his own spear.

Bran Blessed was the greatest king of Britain in the myths of Welly. His birds were crows, which traditionally guard the London Tower and the whole UK.

German language

According to one of the legends of Friedrich I, Barborors fell asleep in one of the beer basements at the foot of the mountain in Thuringias along with his knights after a rich inspection. He could not wake up a few days in a row. The cores are very saddened, since all attempts to wake him up unsuccessful. Many people already thought that their lord had died.

Fortunately, the attacked crows began to circling over the mountain and shout strongly. After a few hours of their screams, they had an action on an asleep warmer and returned it from the kingdom of Morpheus. After this incident, he closed his eyes while sleep, but always raised his hand, so that the young servant would look, whether noisy birds fly around or not.

Ancient Greece

Apollo was fascinated by the beauty of the princess Koronida, a daughter Flygia, Tsar Or Lamien. Having personified the sun god put on her white crow, who guarded her from any misfortune. One day, the feather guard lost vigilance. Using a convenient case, the mortal named Iskhis immediately seduced Tsarevna.

Enjoyed Apollo wanted to kill her, but almost before his death Koronida learned that she was pregnant from him with the son of Asclepius, the future patron of medicine and healing. Dad walked over his son, allowed him to be born and gave him to the upbringing of Centaur Chiron. As a punishment for the negligence attitude towards his duties, White Raven was forever turned into a black bird.

Raven in the mythology of Eskimos

Eskimos belong to the crow with explicit reverence. They believe that it is he who is the progenitor of the Universe. Being an all-breeding creature, he created people, brought them daylight, taught them to use fire, build a canoe, weathered fish networks, use skin skins, sing, dance and do other useful things. It goes without saying, Raven has created animals, birds and plants so that the Eskimo lovers always have a moisture of food.

Such beliefs have been preserved in Chukchi, Koryakov, Itelmen and North American Indians. Many peoples of the East Raven are a symbol of wisdom and longevity, and in Japan and China the patron of family love. He was the emblem of the Chinese shu dynasty (221-263) and depicted with three paws, symbolized the sunrise, its zenith and sunset.
